Hi,

This is a known issue, the fix will be rolled out with the next release.

[kleeb]

when is the next release planned?

[wfhm]

@kleeb We expect it to be released next week. Please note that we have to update native SDK first, therefore Cordova plugin update might take a bit longer.

[wfhm]

@kleeb

Could you please try adding the following permission manually to your plaforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

Please let us know about the results!

[kleeb]

Thanks @wfhm Will definitely check this out in the net days

is it somehow connected with the recent 7.2.5 release?

[wfhm]

@kleeb

The 7.2.5 release was a hotfix. The mentioned permission is not automatically added, therefore the only solution right now is to add it manually.

[wfhm]

Fixed in 7.3.1.
